We open the door and enter Starbucks. Riley walks up to a boot filled with three boys ad two girls. They all smiled when she walked up.
''Hey guys'' She says then turns towards me ''This is Zarinah, She's new''
''Hi'' I smile awkwardly.
''Zarinah this is Caleb my best friend, Rowan my cousin, Rose, Anishwailah and Dimitri my other best friend''
Caleb has black hair; short and messy, green eyes, slight tan. He looks 6''5, he's wearing dark green jeans' black shirt, faded jean jacket and black converse.
Chapter 3'10th October'
I stared at the piece of paper in front of me, 3 days left until mom's and dad's funeral. The police told us what caused the accident to happen; they said that it must have been some huge bear but as far as I can remember there were no bears where we lived so how can it possibly be a bear? How?
Two weeks have passed since I started going to university and three since moving in with my aunt. I told Jared everything that happened and failed miserably to keep my tears to myself. Jared has been a very close friend to me and my brother, we first met him at one of my parent’s charity events; his parents knew mine and would visit quite often, from there our friendship grew and we were really close. I haven't seen him much after his 15th birthday and I don't know why; his parents would always say that he is really busy so he can't make it but I always felt like something was being hidden from me and Raphel.
''Guys I booked the tickets for tomorrow noon, so make sure your bags are packed before we leave and try to get some rest because you will find it quite uncomfortable sleeping on a plane'' Aunt Claire explained before leaving the kitchen
''Sure'' I mumble, rubbing my temples. Raphel looks at me and then his eyes flick to my wrists.
''Mia'' He says concerned
''Yeah'' I look up at him then I realize that he is looking at my wrists, I quickly put them down. The last time I had cut myself was two days ago.
''What happened to your wrist?'' He asks, concern filled in his voice as he takes my hand and turning it over so he can have a closer look at it
''Nothing, I just accidentally cut myself when I broke some science equipment the other day'' I reply taking my hand away.
''Okay'' He says but not fully convinced. I look up at the clock that’s reading 9:15 - luckily my class doesn't start for another 45 minutes, I get up and head for my room
''See yah later'' I say.
I brush my teeth after having a quick shower and drying myself, I head into my closet and picked out my outfit. (Check picture on the side --->)
Grabbing my jacket and bag I get into my car and head towards campus.
''Hey Mia'' Jared calls out
''Hey Jai'' My nickname for him
''What you got now?'' he asks, cautiously. I sigh
''If you’re trying to make me forget about their funeral then it’s pointless and I've got literature now'' I say walking away from him. I heard him sigh but didn't press it any further as he walked along beside me.
''You sure that you're going to be okay?'' Jai whispers in my ear.
''Urgh why has everybody been asking me this?'' I scream causing Riley and the guys to look at me funny.
''What’s wrong?'' Asks Rose
''Nothing?'' I say making it sound like a question.
''Sure doesn't sound like that'' She says, a frown taking place on her face.
''Really its nothing, I'm just going away for a couple of days and Jai just can't stop asking me if I'll be okay since I hate traveling and all'' I reply, casually.
''Oh, where are you going to be going?'' She asks.
'' To Venice for some family stuff'' I reply.
''Oh really?'' Lilah asks, excitedly. I nod ‘‘because me and the gang were going to go there to, what a coincidence huh?''
''Yeah'' I say warily. I get up along with Riley to go to our final class - which was history, we say bye to everybody with a bunch of 'Byes' and 'Laters' in return.
''Does anybody have any further questions about the Romans?'' Mr. Carter asks, We all say no except the 'Barbie’s' aka the girls that dress up all fake to grab the boy's attention. ''Oh and before you all leave, I would like to remind you about your essay that needs to be handed on to my desk in two weeks instead of next week because of certain matters''. After that me Riley and I left the classroom and headed towards the car park, when we got there we found Jai, Ro, Caleb, Rowan and Lilah waiting by there cars, huh I wonder where Dimitri is, haven't seen him around for some time.
''Shit I left my folder in history, you go ahead I'll be right back'' I say turning back and heading back towards my previous class. I enter the class without knocking and find Mr. Carter at his desk marking some papers, his head snaps up when I enter. ''Uh- sorry Sir but I left folder, don't mind me'' I smile slightly before walking up to my desk and retrieving my folder.
''Oh, I heard that you will not be attending Uni for the next couple of days, care to share as to why you'll be gone?'' Mr. Carter asks, politely.
''Umm its nothing really, my family and I are going to Venice for some family stuff'' I reply for the second time today.
''Really? That's funny because I will be taking a few days off work to attend some stuff in Venice as well'' This catches my attention.
''Really! It seems like everybody it’s going to Venice lately'' I say speaking my mind. ''Anyway maybe I'll see you in Venice Sir, you never know but bye for now'' I say before heading towards the door, I hear the faint 'Bye' from Sir but carried on walking. I didn't see where I was going until I bumped into a hard wall and fell hard onto my bum and dropped my folder and bags making everything spill out from my bag. ''Oof'' I looked up and glared at the culprit, who was none other than Dimitri.
''You idiot can't you watch where you're going?'' I ask him grabbing my bag and start putting my stuff back into my bag, Dimitri kneels down and helps me. We stay like in silence until Dimitri finds something that wasn't meant to be seen by anybody.
''What are these'' His eyes scrutinize the razors. ''Are they what I think they are?'' I quickly snatch them out of his grasp and grab my folder from the floor before standing up and clearing my throat.
''I-I don't know w-what your t-talking a-about'' I say shakily.
He raises and eye brow. ''They look like razors to me and may I ask why do you have them on you?'' He asks, concerned.
''No they aren't r-razors and mind your own business!'' I snarl before turning around and walking away towards the car park. I hear him walk beside me and curse under my breath.
''You know that it’s quite unlady like for a women to know such colourful words'' He says sarcastically.
''I don't care about what you know but do me a favour and leave me alone'' I walk faster hoping that he will leave me alone but with no luck today because he once again falls in step with me.
''No can do Zarinah'' He says before putting his hands on my shoulders and turning me to face him. ''Now tell me why do you keep razors with you?'' I glare at him.
''Take your dirty hands off me otherwise I will rip them off'' I growl, he just chuckles.
''I'd like to see that'' I grab both of his hands and rip them off my shoulders and turn away.
''I stop and look over my shoulder. ''A fact that might be useful in the future, don't asks questions that don't have answers'' I turn back around and get into my car before driving off, leaving him confused in the car park.
Chapter 4We all started packing when we got home. By the time we finished, we were all exausted and fell asleep quickly. We woke up around 9am and there was only two hours left before our plane was supposed to take off. We got into the car and drove towards the airport.
Aunt Clare had told us that we had some family members in Venice so that we will be staying with them dueing our stay, when Raph asked our Aunt why our parents are being buried in Venice when its nothing but a city on water, my Aunt had replied by saying the ''It is where our family mausoleum is so your parents are going to be buried there''.
The plane ride was okay but it was a struggle trying to sleep, when we got off the plane we collected our bags and were greeted by our Uncle Jacob and were taken to where we would be staying. The house wasn't that big but it was nice. Aunt Anita; Uncle Jacob's wife started talking to my Aunt Clare like they were long lost friends.
''Serena'' My Uncle called out, a young girl came out of a room from my right. She looked the same age as us, she had ebony black hair, green emarald eyes, she looked quite tall, she had a model like body, she really has changed since the last time that we saw her. ''Come and show your cousin's where they will be staying and where are your brother and sister?''
''Stephan is locked up in his room doind god knows what and the last time I checked Elise was in the kitchen helping Mama cook''
''Ok, tell your brother to come down, I need to talk to him urgently'' My Uncles said before leaving, Serena turned to face us.
''Long time no see, huh Cuz?'' She asks while engulfing us both into a hug. ''Well come on now, I bet you guys are tired'' She releases' us and shows us where our rooms are. I showered and got dressed before falling into an endless slumber.

''Wake up'' Somebody was shaking me. ''Dammit Zarinah wake up''
''Bugger off'' I swat my hand hoping to shut the person up but my hand was caught and I was pulled up from my bed, I open my eyes to find Serena grinning at me. ''What do you want?'' I ask, grumpily.
